I'm in NH and see many commuting to Boston in the morning. They should all take bicycles ~40 miles to work and ~40 miles home? What about winter?

Or simply build adequate infrastructure.

Many of them can telecommute. Many companies can set up a smaller satellite campus - even if its a few desks in NH.

Companies need to see where people are commuting from and set up a small office to capture those people.

Who thinks it's a good idea for hundreds of thousands of people to burn fuel to sit in an open office with half the company WFH that particular day?

Commuting culture is insanity.

I think this is the answer- why move bodies at all? We've been told for decades now that Silicon Valley is just filled to the brim with innovators but I'm supposed to believe that they cannot figure out remote work?

The Netherlands also has a robust rail network, and I know several people who commute from NH to Boston by rail, so that's probably a bad example. :P

Which station do they use? My nearest MBTA station is in Lowell, MA. Why is the highway clogged in the morning with Boston commuters then?

No, they should move closer to work. Commuting 40 miles a day by car is unsustainable for many reasons.

Clearly there are no options beside biking, walking, and driving a car?

It's almost like we should invent a train or a bus or something - working from home, moving closer to work, getting a different job, plus more options than I care to enumerate.
